Previously,

"Hey Annie." Thals teases "shut it.." she mutters and then turns to me.

"You're Percy Jackson right?" I nod bluntly

«««««««««««««««««««

"Cool. Thals when are we going to The Fates?" "At 4:00". Annabeth looks at her watch.

"Lets go then." And then we all walk towards my Camaro, hop inside and I drive to the fates.

Percy POV.

Once we get there we walk inside and sit down at a unoccupied table, surrounded by people partying.

"Hmm. Anyone want to challenge the master pool champion?"

"Percy...?" Thalia asks.

"Mmm ...yes Thals?" I ask.

"You suck at pool Kelp Head." She says while stifling a laugh.

"Ok... Mini golf?" I ask with a smirk and Thalia and Nico shake their heads.l very fast.

"Annabeth, will you challenge the master?" Shells shrugs.

"Its on." She smirks and makes her way to the course. I get there and grab some ball's and clubs. "So..." Annabeth starts before licking her lips and hitting the ball by the hole. "During English when you were sleeping, you were also crying a bit. Why was that?" She asks curiously as she hits the ball into the hole. "Well.. i um... I have these head aches that just make me have tears..." I mutter. "Mhmm... Jackson, I can tell when people lie," she smirks. "And you are." I glance around me, and shrug. "Nothing , Annabeth, I told you." I lie again. "Fine," she says. "Don't tell me. And let me tell you one thing, I hate not knowing. And when I don't know, I dig. And dig. Until I find the truth." She winks. "Dig to the core of the earth... it's true." She shrugs. "Alrighty then.." She looks me up and down. We continue to talk for about an hour. And then Annabeth scores again, but this one was the winning score. "Wooooooooooooooo!" She shouts while she jumps up and down, and I glares daggers at her. "In yo face! I beat the champion of golf!" I grin at her and say, "C'mon wise girl." She stops and stares at me. "Wise Girl?" She asks. "Yup, because your so wise, and your a girl... So Wise Girl." She snorts. "Ok Seaweed Brain." She teases. "Seaweed Brain?" I ask. "Yup you like to swim, so your head is full of seaweed. So come on." We make our way back over to the table and my phone beeps, and I take and see it's a message From 'Asshole'. Asshole is Gabe Ugliano, my worthless step father. I open it up and read it, 'Get your ass home' it says. "Um, guys I gotta go..." I say quickly as I grab my stuff. "What! C'mon, stay a little longer." Annabeth begs and punches my shoulder and I flinch and jump back, breathing heavily. "Percy?" Annabeth asks with a worried expression. "I-im going." I say as I grab my backpack and run outside into the cold winter weather. "Percy stop!" I feel a hand grab me and I stop abruptly.

"What! What do you want!" I cry out turning to face her. "I wanna know what's going on with you." She says softly. "Why.. Why do you care so much." I say through clenched teeth. She sighs. "Because, I wanna help." I laugh . "You're no different from the rest.." I mutter, and walk That's all! Review and favorite.
